    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Gastro3003 aka Dr. Robert Brunner -- Scam Artist, Forger, Beware!

This is the person I am dealing with

A conceited arrogant ... You sure do like looking in a mirror, don't you?

He has treated most of you in this thread this way As have you.

I contacted the webmaster at the advice of a moderated To do what?! Seriously. Rich does not step into personal matters. Handle it on your own instead of bugging the owner of the site to try to strong-arm your way with this thread. Geesus!

Clearly this won't be solved here Clearly; because both of you are hard-headed right-fighters. But you're both wrong.

We are going to court FOR WHAT?! There is nothing in this thread that has been posted by him that you can take him to court for. So as I've said before; your lawyer must be money-hungry to take on a case he knows he's going to lose.

I tried by offering 650 to stop this You also took it off the table right after you offered it. Quite frankly I wouldn't believe anything you have to say. Also, to stop what? To stop this thread from making both of you look like complete imbeciles? Good luck with that one.

But as you saw... It's a game now for him It's obviously been a game for both of you the whole time. This is nothing new.

I really do appreciate everyone's feedback You're full of it.

It's always a learning experience her on BOI Obviously not because you're still pulling the same crap that you've been pulling EVERY TIME you've posted.

Good night

Good luck Doctor. You're a fraud and the OP is an attention seeker. You both should have worked together instead of against each other. Might have been a better show. :ack2: :rolleyes:
 
Let's recap the main points of this thread so my message is not lost and sidetracked. As a Columbia graduate and successful business owner, I deal with extremely high end vintage watches, rare South African succulents, and other interests with transaction values vastly in excess of the $1300 owed to me by Dr. Brunner. For me, it is less about the amount owed than it is about exposing Dr. Brunner's scam. I will continue shedding light on our transaction and providing the community and those who are paying close attention with the details of our deal.

1) I made a deal with Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner of $5k -- $3700 cash, with a balance of $1300 for my tortoise. His supposed wedding ring is used as collateral for the $1300. Original ad here: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572748 (Post #1, #80)
2) Almost immediately after receiving the tortoise, Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner begins complaining of health problems. (#158)
3) I offer multiple times to provide a full refund for the tortoise, and Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner refuses by making up lame excuses. (#177)
4) Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner forges a death certificate from Parrots of the world and ceases all contact in order to evade the $1300 balance owed. (Posts #1, #176)
5) Two months later, another Faunaclassifieds member, KYTuan contacts me requesting genetic information of my tortoise that supposedly died -- stating that he is in possession of the exact tortoise. (Posts #25, #34, #18)
6) Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner threatens me with legal action if I do not cease posting and exposing him. (Posts #191, #181)

The implications of this transaction are tremendous. Here, we have a licensed medical professional, Dr. Robert "Bobby" Brunner committing fraud and forging veterinary documents from a respected private institution.

Out of this post, all that is said is, "I think I'm more important than I am, so I will continue to do what I want, and you will accept it. If not then I will talk down to you and treat you like you're trash." In other words, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! As said before, PUT UP OR SHUT UP! No one cares where you graduated from, or what you're doing with your life. How you portray yourself is all people in this forum care about.

You could be a janitor at a fast food joint, or the King of England. If you tread others with respect then you will be looked at on such a better level than you are now. Considering that you have a "Holier than thou" attitude too. Which won't get you far. Good luck in life and your endeavors. When you burn all your bridges, don't go crying to those you've screwed over to get there. :rolleyes:

I am curious ... you indicated in post #207 that you sold the tortoise for a bargain price of 5k ... but in your own referenced thread above about the tortoise you indicated on 4/22/16 the tortoise was 6.5k and would be dropped in price 1k every week till it sells ... looks like the tortoise should have only been 3.5 k over three weeks later ... where is the bargain in that? Here it comes ... not only do I need a course in English .. I need one in math as well ... lol!! I suppose the new math they taught you at Columbia is different :)

The agreed-upon price was $5k, Alan.
 
I occasionally read elements of these threads for the amusement value, seldom more. They suck you in like a bad soap opera. It never ceases to amaze me how relatively intelligent individuals can fail to understand how bad they are both made to look by engaging in these type of hostile public exchanges. I can't imagine why anyone would ever deal with either of these two characters again, in any capacity. We have 2 allegedly successful individuals who apparently have all day/night to continue their career suicides, with one promising an open-ended continuation to prove a point to a shrinking audience. An audience which has shrunk based on his condescending and childish comments to anyone who dares question his view of the world. The other individual is apparently willing to discard whatever medical career he purports to maintain over a few thousand dollars. Money allegedly means nothing to either of the combatants, which is probably a good thing, as their public exchange virtually guarantees a future shortage of the commodity for both. Burr versus Hamilton, one was shot and killed in the duel, the other eventually charged with treason. Both killed their careers, one literally, one figuratively. Carry on gentlemen. Ici, maybe you could remind us one more time before I leave where you were educated.

Board moderators, if I've broken any rules with my editorial comments, please excuse me, I am not familiar with the rules here. I've made my first and last comments in this venue.

You keep posting this, as though it changes anything. While the vast majority of people here has supported your claim, you seem oblivious to the fact that your attitude has not been received as positively.

You come across as condensing and rude to people who question you or who don't support every aspect of your story without question.

You degree, nor your profession, make not one iota difference to anyone here. Neither does the Doctor's profession or education impress anyone here. Please stop trying to impress us. Also, please stop trying to make it seem as though what the Doctor has done is worse because he is a Doctor. None of us care.

From the begining of this thread, I have supported your claim. However, you have reached the point, with your bad attitude and rude responses, that I am close to not caring if you ever get the money rightfully due you. I know for a fact, that others are begining to feel the same way.

SO...if you have more information to post regarding this transaction (for example, an appraisal of the ring had been asked for ~repeatedly~), then POST IT. Otherwise, keep your taunts and insinuations to yourself, because they are hurting you more than helping at this point.

Oh ok, so a medical professional committing fraud by impersonating a veterinary institution makes no difference to you, got it.

ANYONE who commits fraud is a Bad Guy, but guess what? People from all walks of life do it, that is why we have this forum.

OH, and No, you don't "get it". If you "got it", you would see that it is this attitude right here that is turning this thread and the people who post in it against you. Smdh.

Also, it might make a difference to me IF he did in fact forge the documents, however, you haven't successfully PROVEN that to be the case.

Again, if you have EVIDENCE, then POST IT, otherwise you are just making accusations.

Perhaps if you were one of Dr. Robert Brunner's fraud victims, you would have a similarly poor attitude. Just a thought.

I have nothing against you, nor any of the other community members that have participated in this thread.

The proof is that the tortoise is alive. Did you miss that part?
 
You should be happy ....Mike Li.....that the ring is not fake as you thought!

I offered $650 simply as a way to stop this ridiculousness.

I love how you say the papers from parrots of the world are fake... just like the ring I guess..

Anyway you did not accept the offer. As a matter of fact you continue to post that you want to stretch out this thread for "weeks and months" !!!!.....

so that when anyone Googles me this thread will come up first.

You actually said it's your mission and you don't care about the money anymore.

I just want you to know that you can be confident that the ring is not fake.

Only your name..Ici...is fake

I think we're supposed to use our full names on this forum as per the rules.

Mike Li........

I don't want your ring, Dr. Brunner. Why don't you pay me the $1300 you owe me, I'll give you back your ring, and we'll close this thread?

Why do you continue to evade?
 
Why should Ici accept your $650 offer when you owe him $1300? That's absurd and offensive. The ring was collateral to hold him over for a few days until you got the remaining balance to pay him. You still owe him $1300 despite the possibility the tortoise is dead. It should have been paid for up front.
